    Could you give a little more information about how your network is set up? Are both of the computers connecting with wireless?

    Sounds like you have set them both to the SAME static IP address.
    You need to either
    1/ set different IP addresses
    Or
    2/ set them to automatic DHCP addressing.

    Hmm... normally, that shouldn't happen. What type of wireless are you using? Is it bluetooth, or 802.11a/b/g/n (any of those letters)?
